Exclusive Interview of Celebrity Actress Deepika Padukone on Chandni Chowk To China :
Following is an exclusive interview of celebrity and sexy actress Deepika Padukone on her action-packed double role in this week’s big release Chandni Chowk To China.
Considering the downturn, do you think it’s the right time to release Chandni Chowk To China?
With the success of Rab Ne Bana De Jodi and Ghajini, one feels more confident now. I have given my all to the film but the release date is not in my hands. I am sure Chandni … is going to do really well.
In Chandni Chowk To China we will see you in a double role again after Om Shanti Om...
The double roles in Chandni… are totally different from Om Shanti Om. I got to play two completely different people — Sakhi is completely Indian as she grows up in India while her sister has been brought up in China and has become like a Chinese girl. It was very challenging because both the roles were very different, one girl being Indian and very feminine and the other girl being Chinese, very strong, bold and sexy.
It must have been difficult to keep switching between the two looks...
It’s very challenging. On many days, I had to play both the characters at the same time. So I had to keep changing my look and that became pretty challenging.
We’ve heard you had to put some glue on your face to get the Chinese look...
We were planning to use tapes initially but I was advised not to do that because you can’t stretch your eyes for so many hours a day. The make-up expert Mallika came up with the idea of doing my eyes in a way that would make them look Chinese. And I think I do look quite Chinese thanks to that.
What sort of training have you done for the action scenes?
The Chinese girl I play gets to do a lot of action. So I had the opportunity to do very interesting fight sequences with Akshay as well. When Nikhil (Advani) told me that I have action sequences with Akshay, I was definite that I would not be able to do them without training. So I trained for about six months for eight hours a day. A trainer came down from China and trained me for the cable work that we have done in the film.
How did you acquire your super-fit look in the movie?
I think the six months strenuous training did wonders. I don’t believe in a crash diet. I believe in eating healthy.
People are calling you Lady Akshay Kumar because of your stunts...
Yeah, it’s very flattering. It is a tag that people gave me after they saw the trailers and some of my action sequences in the film. I have done amazing action, which no actress has done in Bollywood.
Was Akshay helpful during the stunt sequences?
Akshay is extremely supportive especially when it came to shooting the action scenes. He is a wonderful co-star and fantastic person. He has been around in the industry for more than 15 years. So I got to learn a lot from him.
Does being a tall girl hamper your chances of working with some of the Bollywood stars?
No, it doesn’t. I wear heels and that’s why I look so tall. I am not so tall (laughs).
Do you think Deepika Padukone is perfect for her role in Chandni Chowk To China? Who can be other option (heroine) from Bollywood for the role in the film?
